From an email from friends that we met in Samoa the week before the quake: "We felt the earthquake. It was very strong, but we didn't think to run until the water started to recede. We ran for the car but as I backed out the wave was on us and we went for a pretty wild ride. Our fale collapsed in the first wave with us as did other buildings so we were lucky to be in the car. When the water started to suck back out the car wedged on building materials and we were able to jump out and run." It must have been terrifying. Given by Guest Giver on 15 Oct

I was sleeping in the fale in the photo a week before the tsunami. Man, I feel for them. I wish I could do more. http://www.samoalivenews.com/images/stories/tsunami%204/coconut%20beach%20.jpg Given by Gina Sands on 15 Oct

The completed work by Otis Frizzell

By Givealittle Admin Admin

WOW! We're so impressed and hope you are too. The final artwork left Te Papa on Monday 19 October and we're now waiting on confirmation of it's new home in Samoa.

In the meantime, we're working to produce some limited edition prints that we will auction shortly, with all funds raised for the NZ Red Cross Samoa Tsunami Relief Fund. Watch this space for more details...

The artwork is gaining momentum having featured on TV One's Breakfast this morning, and a National Radio interview yesterday afternoon. We've had more visitors to Te Papa as a result which is great - and only one more day of painting to go!

More comments are being added as the artwork nears completion, as well as an acknowledgement of the donations we’ve had from all over the world.

We can't wait to see the finished product tomorrow.

The artwork is really taking off today - new colours, new images and even more interest from the public and national media. We're pleased to announce that the artwork will stay in the Wellington Foyer of Te Papa (next to the Information Desk) over the weekend, so come on down and see it in all its completed glory.

Donor comments are now being added - is yours included?

We've uploaded pictures of today's progress - as you can see, it's really coming along.

Painting kicked off in earnest this morning, with many members of the public popping into Te Papa to offer words of encouragement and praise. We're really pleased to have such positive feedback.

With the mural sketched out in chalk, and painting now in progress, the next few days will be busy as Otis works to complete the 7 panel, 8 metre wide artwork. We hope our Resene Paint doesn't run out!

Not only will the mural incorporate comments from people who have donated through the Givealittle site, but it reflects the vibrant colour, life and culture of the Samoan people.

Thanks again to our supporters: Te Papa, Resene and the Museum Hotel for helping to make this artwork a reality, at such short notice.
